[Verse 1]
[G]I w[C]as [G]the[Ebaug] girl[G][F][Em]
in the bubble at [A]school
Behind my own [D]personal
[G]wall for protection
I'd [Em]sit there [C#dim]alone like a foo[A]l
I nev[C]er was [F]able to
make [G]a connection
Then [Em]one day I tried out for the p[A]lay
I'll [C]never forget [D]it, a [G]flea in her ear,
and I was [Em]suddenly someone [C#dim]with some[A]thing to say,
[C#dim]making a sou[C]nd eve[F]rybody could hea[G]r.
And [Em]sud denly everything
made [Ebaug]some sense,
then [Em]I saw this guy in the audienc[A]e.
And [G]there was [B]John,
fifth row on [Em]the aisle
with a big smile [C#dim]on.
[A]And after [Dsus4]the show he
[G]came [B]backstage
And now that this [Em]birdie
was out of her cage
[C#dim]Well, eve[A]rythin[Am]g was okay[D]
We'd [B]date for [Em]a year,
then we're [A]cohabitating
Then I [C]get a big [D]chance
to take [G]the next step
[B]Away fro[Em]m a job I was hating[A]
And into [Am]a slo[D]t in the regio[G]nal rep.
In [Em]rehearsal all day,
after [Ebaug]day, after day.
Creat[Em]ing and[G] playi[Em]ng,
an[C#dim]d play after p[A]lay.
And [C]night after night,
ignit[Cm]ing the spark.
Con[Em]necting with all of those
folk[F]s in the dark.
And [G]John was [B]there,
there with a smile
[Em]and his hands in the air[C#dim]
[A]Clapping [C]for me and[Dsus4]
[D]back [G]home we'd go
[B]Happy together [Em]for eight
or nine [C#dim]hours or so[A]
And [Am]everything was okay
[D]And then [Am]I'd be gone again
[Dsus4]This life take[Bb]s everything you give[Eb] it.
Like a [D]puppy or a kid.
But [Gm]if you really love it, y[C]ou live it.
And [F]that's what I did.
[Ebaug]Played caro[Em]usel on the
road for [A]the winter.
From [Am]April to Jun[D]e I toured Caba[G]ret.
Then Mother [B]Cour[Em]age in stock
in England [A]all summer,
and [Am]John tried to [F]call almost every [G]day.[B]
He [Em]told me he wanted some
kids and a wife,
and that's when I realized
this [A]is my [C#dim]life.
[Em]I made my choice,
but I nev[B]er expressed it.
[Em]An d when I got home, can you gu[A]ess?
Yeah, I
Guess did.
[G]John was [B]gone.
Everything on [Em]the left of
the closet [C#dim]was gone.[A]
His elec[Am]tric guitar and [F]his amp and his
car were [G]gone. Just [B]poof.
There I was stand[Em]ing
under [C#dim]a roof alone.
And [C]yes, my heart was al[Am]most broken.
But [Adim]I'd made my choice,
and [Cm]I'd [F]make it again.
And [Bb]now, where's [D]John?
I think Portland, [Gm]Maine.
Or maybe [C]it's Oregon.
With a kid [Cm]and a wife.
And [Bb]here is [D]me.
Another dress[Gm]ing room number
one thou[C]sand and three.
Ex[Cm]actly where I should [F]be.
Ex[Cm]actly where we should [F]be.
And [Ebm]everything's okay
[Ab]
